Who is this Jesus?

Colossians 1:15-19
^"15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. ¹⁶ For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. ¹⁷ He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. ¹⁸ He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. ¹⁹ For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him..."

What is the writer saying?

What indescribable greatness is in Jesus Christ. He is the very image, not created in the image as man is. Jesus is the very image of God. By Him, all things were created. He created not only everything visible, but also the forces, and even the kingdoms of the universe, let alone the earth, for all of time. These are not only created by Him, but through and for Him. How can I get a grasp on these statements? First, "by Him", meaning that he was instrumental in the actual creation process, He must have been the key Creator of all things. Then, "through and for" Him also, indicating by "through", that Someone else was also involved, meaning God the Father and God the Spirit (remembering in Genesis the Spirit moving above the waters."(Gen. 1:2) Then, "for Him" indicates that all of creation's purpose is for Him. And then, "in Him all things hold together" indicates that He is actively preserving the universe. How great is Jesus Christ, the God-man, the Lord of everything!
